House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Sept. 23 threatened to introduce a motion to oust House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) if she attempts to impeach President Donald Trump or Attorney General William Barr to delay the Senate in confirming Trump’s Supreme Court pick.

Pelosi on Sept. 20 was asked on ABC News about whether impeachment could be used as an option to prevent the Supreme Court nomination. She replied: “We have our options. We have arrows in our quiver that I’m not about to discuss right now.”
